MINISTRY PHILOSOPHY

My wife and I believe ministry should be a complete team experience. The Bible instructs pastors to train the church to do the work of Christ. Our mission is to effectively equip and train students to discover their gifts and talents in order to reach their world for Christ. We understand our effectiveness is directly related to how effectively we can train our team.
